But there's the problem: equating "light and simple" with the low end of the product line. Consider the opposite approach, in which Lotus builds the light and simple Elise and sells it at $48K.
Or to take the CRX as a base, Honda sells the Fit at $15-20K MSRP. Suppose they started with the basic Fit platform, and built the lighter, quicker next-gen CRX on it. Wouldn't there be people willing to pay a $5-10K premium over the basic Fit for one?
